“Henry's Rifle kicked off the night in fine fashion playing some of the most aggressive Americana/roots-infused punk heard in quite some time.”

“HENRY’S RIFLE John Alfred’s one-man band hammers out raw Americana playing mostly banjo along with harmonica, guitar, heaps of foot-stompin’ and plenty roots-drenched howling. Alfred’s messy mix of blues, country, folk and hillbilly can be raucous or surprisingly sublime. Whether taking the banjo for a pleasant stroll or strumming it into a runaway train, the harp whistling along, this is backcountry music that’s at home anywhere Alfred hunkers down and straps on the strings.
